Himawari: Pebble in the Sky Portable

Himawari depicts a story of love, tragedy, and sacrifice on two levels: Earth and outer space. Hinata Youichi is a young high school student who is the sole survivor of a horrific spaceplane catastrophe that took away his family and memories two years ago. Youichi, amnesiac but solid in his new existence, finds refuge in his friends: Amamiya Ginga, the eccentric son of a world-famous astronaut, and Saionji Asuka, his tomboyish but ultimately kind-hearted quasi-childhood pal. However, everything changes when an unusual object crash falls in Youichi’s neighborhood, and he meets Aries, a mysterious – and equally amnesiac – young girl from outer space. What is the meaning of Aries? What happened two years ago on that terrible day? What mysteries are hidden beneath the accident that turned Youichi’s life upside down? Explore Youichi’s struggle to come to grips with his lost memories as an altogether different story unfolds far beyond the clouds in the chilly expanse of outer space. What begins as a lighthearted high-school adventure eventually takes a more serious turn as both Youichi and the reader are forced to confront a sobering realization: not everything is as it appears at first glance.
